Until I met You

The last years went by
One by one, day after day
And I kept on folding my fingers
One by one, day after day
Counting my lost hopes
One by one, day after day
Burying my dying smiles
One by one, day after day
Until I met You Lord
Caring for...

Conjunction

(To my wife)

When you are
With me
I stay in
Because there is
No place for me
Anywhere else
I stay with you
Inside our house
Breathing
Your presence

But when you are
Not with me
I stay out
Because there is
No space left
Inside the...

Wondering

I do not know
What after-me will look like
Baskets of spilled tears
Or bags of sunshine

I do not know
What pre-me looked like
Rivers of withered flowers
Or drops of bright smiles

But I know
What I am in this world

Dreams

Let me live in my dreams
Where there are
No whys and no hows
A world full of reality

In the core of putrefaction
And misery...

Battling Child

Fifteen-year-old Child
Died while fighting for liberty
Under his war master’s rule
In a remote marshy bush

Of liberty he and war mates
Only knew gun shots and shell sounds
War cries and war songs
Blood splashes and brain...

Poor Women

You always see them
From dawn to dusk
Backs bent and heads down
They know no storm
They know no rain

You always see them
Tending children or mending clothes
Mopping floors or cooking food
They know no break
They know no rest

You always...

To my Family

Round and round around my heart
Dance and hop and jump your ties
For love is in all your hearts
The way it is in my life
And what is my life without you
Just a cold stone on a cold...

Lifeless but alive

We are small bits of nothing
Sand dust exposed to wind’s blows
Tomorrow our joyful smiles
So bright now will turn sad

We are small toy beings
In the hands of ogres
Who play with our lives
Then eat them up

We are now lifeless
But still...
